ART FAQs

Telehealth Accelerated Resolution Therapy in Michigan ART

  • Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a brain-based, evidence-based therapy incorporating bilateral stimulation through eye-movements that is proven to be highly effective in helping people reduce dysregulation and suffering in their life. ART roughly originated as a target/theme-focused derivative of EMDR and has since been developed into a rich and strikingly effective therapeutic treatment.

    Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a form of therapy that aims to help individuals eliminate negative images, sensations, and reactions associated with traumatic or distressing memories, in addition to almost any other concern (e.g., phobia, anxiety, depression, grief, OCD). Through bilateral stimulation eye-movements, ART helps the brain process and integrate these images in a way that reduces their emotional intensity (i.e., desensitization). This can lead to elimination or reduction in symptoms and dysregulation. ART also focuses on identifying and changing intrusive images, patterns of body reactions, and unhelpful thought patterns that may be contributing to emotional distress (i.e., reprocessing). By addressing the root causes of traumatic images, negative sensations and reactions, ART helps individuals voluntarily change their images and sensations to more helpful and positive images and sensations, giving themselves what they need, and ultimately achieve a greater sense of well-being and unburdening (i.e., “positization”).

  • ART is firmly grounded in techniques used in well-established evidence-based treatments, including exposure through visualization, visualized in-vivo exposure, relaxation/stress inoculation facilitated by eye movements, re-scripting of negative images, Gestalt and Internal Family Systems techniques, use of metaphors, neurobiology, integrative polyvagal theory, and others. ART is an evidence-based treatment and research is ongoing. https://acceleratedresolutiontherapy.com/evidence-based/

    Bilateral stimulation through eye-movements is thought to help keep both hemispheres of the brain "online" at the same time via processing across the corpus callosum, the part of the brain that connects hemispheres. The prefrontal cortex, AKA "thinking brain", is thought to be "offline" when reexperiencing or having a flashback.

    Eye-movements (bilateral stimulation): The exact mechanism behind why bilateral eye-movements work is still being studied, but it's believed to be related to the way the brain processes and integrates traumatic or distressing memories. The theory behind bilateral stimulation, which includes eye-movements, is that it activates both sides of the brain simultaneously, which can facilitate communication between the different parts of the brain involved in processing memories and emotions. This may help to reduce the intensity of negative emotions associated with the memory, and promote a more adaptive perspective on the event. Additionally, bilateral eye-movements have been shown to induce a state of relaxation and calmness, which can be helpful in reducing anxiety and promoting emotional regulation. While the exact mechanisms are not fully understood, many people who have undergone bilateral eye-movement therapy, such as in Accelerated Resolution Therapy, have reported significant reductions in symptoms related to PTSD, anxiety, and depression.

    Working memory hypothesis: Maintaining dual attention to both disturbing material, such as traumatic memories, and the bilateral stimulation is thought to facilitate effective processing. Bilateral stimulation also taxes working memory as a person is talking about distressing events in the past. In doing so, this decreases emotional activation while engaging in recalling memories. Working memory involves using an active memory along with performing cognitive operations. When recalling a memory and engaging in bilateral stimulation, working memory is taxed and the memory may become less activating. Disturbing memories that are brought into consciousness while engaging in bilateral stimulation are subsequently stored back into long-term memory with less vividness and emotional intensity. Thus, memory is reconsolidated with less activation, facilitating traumatic healing.

  • ART can treat trauma, post-traumatic stress and injury, chronic pain, depression, anxiety, OCD, phobia, grief, and nearly ANY other issues and/or concerns. ART can also assist in connecting with your body, and reduce the intensity and frequency of negative experiences, intrusive images, and uncomfortable emotional experiences.

    Eliminating negative sensations & reactions: Reprocessing traumatic or distressing memories through bilateral eye-movements is a key component of Accelerated Resolution Therapy. During the reprocessing of ART, the therapist guides the client through a series of side-to-side eye movements while they focus on the problematic images and sensations. Through this reprocessing, the individual can begin to develop a more adaptive perspective on the event and replace negative images and sensations with positive ones. This helps eliminate negative symptoms and reactions and reduces the emotional intensity associated with the target and promotes a sense of closure and resolution.

    Reprocessing and “positizing”: Reprocessing through bilateral eye-movements is thought to work by promoting the natural healing process of the brain, which allows for the integration of the traumatic memory into the individual's overall life story. While the exact mechanisms are still being studied, bilateral eye-movements have been shown to be an effective treatment for trauma-related conditions, and can help individuals achieve a greater sense of emotional well-being. The eye-movements themselves are soothing and calming.

    Memory reconsolidation: Memory reconsolidation is a process by which previously stored memories are modified or updated in light of new experiences or information. When a memory is retrieved, it becomes temporarily unstable and is susceptible to change. During this time, the memory can be modified through the processes of ART. Reconsolidation occurs when the modified memory is re-stored, incorporating the new information or experience. The idea behind memory reconsolidation is that it allows for the updating of maladaptive or traumatic memories, leading to a reduction in associated negative emotions and behaviors.

  • ART provides relief and resolution in as few as one to five sessions per theme or issue. In ART, you don't have to talk about your experience. This protects you from reliving it. This aspect of ART is a client favorite!

  • Yes! Because ART takes so few sessions to quickly and wholly provide regulation and resolution, it is also the perfect adjunctive, supplemental, or additive treatment to your ongoing psychotherapy with another therapist. It’s important to me to collaborate care with other providers, so you would be offered to give permission for me to communicate with your primary therapist.
